This morning I found myself wondering where the church of Santa Prisca was in the city of Rome. Naturally I thought of Google maps, and experimentally typed maps.google.it to see what would happen.

Sure enough I found the church easily; and then I noticed that Google Streetview was active for that area. Quickly enough I found myself driving up the Via di Santa Prisca in my web-browser. The light in the images was precisely that of Rome early in the morning, and I found myself nostalgic for my visits there. There was even a hotel next door to the church.

A visit to TripAdvisor suggested that the hotel was rather dodgy, so I don’t think I’ll stay there! But … aren’t we fortunate to live in days when such a marvellous thing is available!
